In the following, we would particularly like to inform you about how we collect data within the scope of the use of our website, and how, and for what purposes, we use this data.

I. General information

1. Scope of the data processing

Fundamentally, we only collect and use the personal data of our users insofar as it is required for providing a functional website as well as it is required for the provision of our services and content. The collection and use of our users’ personal data is only processed insofar as the processing of the data is permitted on the basis of legal regulations or upon consent of the user.

2. Legal basis for data processing

Insofar as we request the consent of the user for processing their personal data on our website, Art. 6, Sec. 1 (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

In the processing of personal data, which is required for the fulfillment of a contract to which the user is a party, Art. 6, Sec. 1 (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to the processing operations, which are required for the processing of a similar contractual obligation or pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as a processing of personal data is required for the fulfillment of a legal obligation, which our company is subject to, then Art. 6, Sec. 1 (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is required in order to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and if the interests, the fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the affected user do not outweigh the first interest, then Art. 6, Sec. 1 (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the data processing (so-called balancing of interests).

In addition, there are further legal bases for the processing of personal data, which we have specifically listed in the following, where relevant.

3. Storage time

The user's personal data is deleted or blocked (deactivated) as soon as the purpose for the storage of this data has ended. In addition, storage of data can also be processed if this has been planned for by the European or national laws in EU regulations, laws, or other provisions to which our company is subject. A blocking or deletion of the data is also processed if a required storage period mentioned in the standards expires, unless there is a requirement for an additional storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

4. Forwarding of personal data

If we forward personal data, then we exclusively forward this data to service companies that support us in the fulfillment of the noted purposes. These companies may only use your personal data for order processing in order to fulfill their tasks within the scope of our order.

Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on the user’s computer and through which the use of the website can be tracked and analyzed. The information generated by the cookie regarding the use of this website by the user is usually sent to and stored on a server operated by Google and located in the USA. However, in case of the activation of the IP anonymisation function on this website, your IP address is first truncated by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other states that are parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the entire IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and then truncated there. The IP address transferred by Google Analytics from your browser is not – according to Google – combined with other Google data.

Per the order of the operator, Google will use this information to analyze the use of the website by the users, to compile reports on the website activities, and to provide additional services to the website operator related to the use of the website or the Internet. Our legitimate interest in data processing also lies in these purposes.
